With the mesh type shown in the pics your are going to loose about 50 percent of the total air flowing through the radiator......

Be carefull and do a test run under hot weather conditions with and then without the mesh and compare water temperature.

I tried this type of mesh first time in 89 and found out that under highway conditions the car run hot.
Today i'm going with a weldet mesh like the original shaker screen used by the shelby team in the 60s.
Mesh size is 10mm to 10mm made from 1mm wire.
Never had temperatur problems again.
